What can brown do for you?

Folks, UPS is diversifying its services: now, instead of just delivering packages, they also deliver entertainment! Earlier today, Chris called me into the living room with the words, "Our UPS guy is playing the trumpet in the street!!" WHAA? Sure enough, there he was, sitting on the rear bumper of his truck, wailing the blues on his horn. And he's good! I'm not sure what was making him blue--maybe a customer wasn't home for the 3rd time, maybe his brown uniform itches, maybe he's just in a funk for no good reason. I already had a crush on our UPS guy, because he's always friendly and always in a good mood, despite the fact that we live in a 3rd floor walk-up ("That's okay," he says when I apologize for the trek. "I'm getting a work-out on company time!" How good natured is that?!) Now, I'm in UPS love.

I know the picture is crap. You can barely see him. But Chris's digital camera doesn't have zoom. My camera does, but I couldn't find it, and anyway, it's not digital, so you would've seen that picture, in, oh, about 3 months. You'll just have to trust me: he's there and he's playing the trumpet.
